Best Answer

Eddie Mabo (born Edward Koiki Sambo) is best known for his campaigns for recognition of the land ownership rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. He was heavily involved in the overturning of the legal principle Terra Nullius - 'no man's land' - which stated that the traditional land of the indigenous people had no legal owner.
